ThankThanks and greetings from Poland!

Thank you very much for your work.
I always knew that my family comes from Italy.

However, I did not have scientific confirmation of its history.

My father, in response to my questions about our origins, always said that we have Italian roots, but at the same time added that "each is worth as much as he represents himself".

While I completely agree with his opinion, I am glad to know the history of the family and its noble history.

Trying to enter into the further glorious tradition, I am also aware that not all members of this family followed a similar path.

Once again, I thank you all very much and send warm greetings from cold Poland at this time.

New to this

Found out information about my family's history that was very informative. The Patent of Nobility that was signed on September 8th, 2022 I had received was very well put together. I've shown it to some people and got negative feedback. Yet my Genetics link me to various Royal families on My true ancestry. Very interesting stuff. Also, the Captain Ichabod Miller III from the Revolutionary war which I descend from also had English Nobility apparently fore fathers of Winston Churchill and the Spencer family.
"Apparently the Millers have been royalty (Scottish, English, Norwegian, Irish, Danish and French) from the 9th century until 1406 when we started mixing with regular folk (oh well).
As well as having descended from royalty (which explains their genteel manner) the Miller's are also direct descendents from at least two Saints (Saint Margaret of Scotland go here for the connection and Saint Olga of Kiev, go here for the connection) which probably explains their beatific disposition.

We can trace our family back 62 generations to Augustus Caesar (63 BC - 14AD) the first emperor of the Roman Empire (go here) and 35 generations back to Alfred the Great (849-899).

Assuming the data on the web site Ancestry.com is reliable and accurate then the following connections are true.

Scotland: Starting with Robert Miller it's 20 generations back to hit John Earl of Carrick (King Robert III of Scotland (1340-1406 go here for the steps) and 38 generations will go all the way back to Kenneth I (810-858) the first king of Scotland go here for the rest of the steps. It is also 20 generation back to William Wallace (Braveheart)

Scotland/Ireland: Kenneth I ancestors include Fergus mor Macerc the legendary founder of Scotland in 501, Muireadhach Tireach King of Ireland in 356, Niall Noígíallach of the High Kings of Ireland and even earlier High Kings of Ireland such as Túathal Techtmar from 56 AD.) It's 65 generations to get back this far (go here for the steps from Kenneth I back to Túathal Techtmar).
England/Norway: We are also direct descendents of the Kings of England (28 generations to Henry the I and 29 to William I the Conqueror and 31 to King Edmund II) as well as the King of Norway (Harald the III) go here for the connections. For a step by step trip back go here.

France/ Saxony (Germany): French nobility (King Robert II and Hugh Capet and Robert I, and Henry I Fowler (the Duke of Saxony and a German King) go here for the 30 steps.

Denmark: We are only 34 generations from Harthacnut (born c. 890) who was a legendary King of Denmark. He is alternatively given as the son of an otherwise unknown "Sweyn," or, as presented by Ragnarssona þáttr, of the semi-mythic Viking chieftain Sigurd Snake-in-the-Eye, himself one of the sons of the legendary Ragnar Lodbrok. Go here for all the steps back.

Holy Roman Empire: We are only 36 generations back to Charlemagne, who is numbered as Charles I in the regnal lists of France, Germany and the Holy Roman Empire for the steps go here. It's also possible to back 48 generations to the Emperors of Rome including Constantine and Valentinian (go here). From Valentinian you can go even further back to some of the most famous Roman Emperors, go here.

Other royals include the Kings of Sweden, Kiev, Poland, Jutland for the steps back (30 generations) go here"

Dear User,

just for your information we have two type of dossier

1) Heraldic previews and 2) Heraldic traces.

You saw an Heraldic Trace.

If you take 10 seconds more to read the content of the page you will understand that:

Heraldic Traces are dossiers made by an A.I. useful as a starting point for researchers and passionate heraldists and confirm that there is information to work on and it is possible to order a heraldic document.

When you buy a heraldic document a new accurate analysis of the heraldic research will be performed by an expert heraldist and the document will be written in Italian or English.

The coat of arms will be checked and, if necessary, redesigned in strict compliance with the heraldic rules by our experts.

Please next time think a little more before writing a 1 star review, we are working hard since many years.

Best regards
N.Marziale

Update (2 weeks later):
we did some research in the archive and we also asked to contact you.
you are not our customer and you have not accepted our request for dialogue, are you one of those "keyboard lions" who is a hater or writes bad reviews by trade?

Schipani Family Coat of Arms

i recently purchased a copy of my family's coat of arms, I also had them add information on my line and they did some background search on the year the feudi was purchased by my ancestor. The source I gave them just gave the year my ancestor held the feudi.

Incorrect information with wrong family name!

After finding this website I did try it out and asked to some information about my family history. Well. How can a German explain an Italian that my family name is written with an ß. I tried it in 3 different ways. Results are not as I wished for. How can a heraldry institute sent out a document for a different name? I asked 2 times to correct it. No response from Heraldry Institute of Rome!

Dear Customer, we are baffled by your review, the header of Heraldic document is Meßner, the header of the coat of arms is Meßner, the only double "ss" is mentioned in the text "Meßner or Messner" because int he non german archives and even in the Siebmaker site ( try yourself : https://data.cerl.org/siebmacher/_search?query=Me%C3%9Fner&from=0&size=10&mode=default&sort=default ) this family is written "Meßner or Messner", we answered to all your emails and you never asked us to modify the document, In you want a modification please write us an understandable and compliant request and we will do it.
